Usage

Installation

The DeepSeek executor is automatically available in OmniRoute:

npm install @omniroute/open-sse

Authentication

DeepSeek Web API requires session cookies from chat.deepseek.com:

# Extract cookies from browser
# Store in environment variable or file
export DEEPSEEK_COOKIES="_deepseek_session=abc123...;__Secure-deepseek-id=xyz789..."

Making Requests

Via OmniRoute CLI

omniroute chat --provider deepseek-web \
  --model deepseek-v4-flash \
  --message "Hello, how are you?" \
  --credentials '{"cookies":"_deepseek_session=..."}'

Programmatically

import { getExecutor } from "@omniroute/open-sse/executors";

const executor = getExecutor("deepseek-web");

const messages = [
  { role: "user", content: "What is 2+2?" }
];

const credentials = {
  cookies: process.env.DEEPSEEK_COOKIES,
};

// Non-streaming
const response = await executor.execute({
  credential: credentials,
  model: "deepseek-v4-flash",
  messages,
});

for await (const chunk of response) {
  console.log(chunk);
}

Supported Models

• deepseek-v4-flash (default) - Fastest, good for most queries
• deepseek-v4-pro - More capable, slower
• deepseek-r1 - Reasoning model, best for complex problems
• deepseek-v3 - Previous generation

Configuration Options

const client = new DeepSeekWebWithAutoRefresh({
  cookies: "_deepseek_session=...",
  
  // Optional: Enable auto-refresh (default: true)
  autoRefresh: true,
  
  // Optional: Refresh interval in ms (default: 20h)
  sessionRefreshInterval: 20 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
  
  // Optional: Max refresh retries (default: 3)
  maxRefreshRetries: 3,
});

---

Rate Limiting

DeepSeek applies the following limits:

Limit	Value
Requests/minute	60
Tokens/day	100,000+ (tier-dependent)
Concurrent requests	10-50

The middleware automatically:

• Tracks remaining requests + tokens
• Queues excess requests
• Implements exponential backoff on 429
• Prioritizes queued requests

Monitoring Rate Limits

const middleware = new DeepSeekWebMiddleware();

middleware.on("rate_limited", ({ delay, queueSize }) => {
  console.log(`Rate limited! Retry after ${delay}ms. Queue: ${queueSize}`);
});

middleware.on("rate_limit_updated", (state) => {
  console.log(`Requests remaining: ${state.requestsRemaining}`);
  console.log(`Tokens remaining: ${state.tokensRemaining}`);
});

const metrics = middleware.getMetrics();
console.log(metrics);
// {
//   requests: 5,
//   tokens: 500,
//   requestsRemaining: 55,
//   tokensRemaining: 99500,
//   queued: 2,
//   active: 1,
//   resetIn: 45000
// }

Error Handling

Status Code Recovery

Code	Action	Recovery
400	Bad Request	Fix payload, retry immediately
401	Unauthorized	Auto-refresh session, retry once
429	Rate Limited	Exponential backoff, queue request
500	Server Error	Exponential backoff, retry 3-5x
503	Unavailable	Exponential backoff, retry 3-5x

Example Error Handling

try {
  const response = await client.sendCompletion({
    model: "deepseek-v4-flash",
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "test" }],
  });
} catch (error: any) {
  if (error.status === 401) {
    // Session expired - auto-refresh happens internally
    console.log("Session refreshed, retry queued");
  } else if (error.status === 429) {
    // Rate limited - use exponential backoff
    const backoffMs = 1000 * Math.pow(2, attemptNumber);
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, backoffMs));
  } else {
    console.error("Other error:", error.message);
  }
}

---

Streaming

Responses are streamed as Server-Sent Events (SSE):

// Streaming via client
for await (const chunk of client.streamCompletion({
  model: "deepseek-v4-flash",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Count from 1 to 10" }],
  max_tokens: 100,
})) {
  const content = chunk.choices?.[0]?.delta?.content;
  if (content) {
    process.stdout.write(content);
  }
}

Stream Format

data: {"id":"cmpl-...","choices":[{"delta":{"content":"Hello"}}],"model":"deepseek-v4"}
data: {"id":"cmpl-...","choices":[{"delta":{"content":" world"}}],"model":"deepseek-v4"}
data: [DONE]

---

Session Management

Auto-Refresh

The client automatically refreshes sessions to prevent 401 errors:

const client = new DeepSeekWebWithAutoRefresh({
  cookies: "...",
  autoRefresh: true, // Enabled by default
  sessionRefreshInterval: 20 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // 20 hours
});

// Session is automatically refreshed every 20 hours
// No manual intervention needed

Manual Refresh

// Check session validity
if (client.isSessionValid()) {
  console.log("Session is valid");
}

// Manually refresh if needed
await client.refreshSession();

// Get time since last refresh
const timeSinceRefresh = client.getTimeSinceRefresh();
console.log(`Last refresh: ${timeSinceRefresh}ms ago`);

// Update cookies (e.g., from Set-Cookie headers)
client.updateCookies([
  "_deepseek_session=new_token; Path=/; HttpOnly",
]);

// Cleanup on shutdown
client.destroy(); // Stops auto-refresh timer

Troubleshooting

Session Expired (401 Error)

Symptom: Requests failing with 401 Unauthorized

Solution:

1. Verify cookies are fresh: log into chat.deepseek.com again
2. Extract new cookies from browser Network tab
3. Update DEEPSEEK_COOKIES environment variable
4. Restart your application

// Check session validity
if (!client.isSessionValid()) {
  console.error("Session invalid. Please re-authenticate.");
  // Extract new cookies from browser
}

Rate Limited (429 Error)

Symptom: Requests failing with 429 Too Many Requests

Solution:

1. Reduce concurrent requests or increase time between requests
2. Implement longer backoff delays
3. Use request prioritization for important queries

const middleware = new DeepSeekWebMiddleware({
  maxConcurrent: 5, // Limit concurrent requests
  maxRetries: 3,
});

// Check queue status
const { queued, active } = middleware.getQueueStats();
if (queued > 10) {
  console.warn("Queue backing up, consider slowing requests");
}

Stream Not Completing

Symptom: Stream stops prematurely without [DONE] marker

Solution:

1. Increase request timeout (default: 30s)
2. Reduce max_tokens to avoid timeout
3. Check network connectivity

const response = await fetch(url, {
  timeout: 60000, // 60 second timeout
});

Cookie Not Found

Symptom: "Invalid DeepSeek credentials" error

Solution:

1. Ensure _deepseek_session cookie is in the cookie string
2. Check cookie isn't expired
3. Verify cookie format: name=value; name2=value2

// Validate before creating client
const hasCookie = cookies.includes("_deepseek_session=");
if (!hasCookie) {
  throw new Error("Missing _deepseek_session cookie");
}

Performance Tips

1. Reuse client instances - Don't create new clients for each request
2. Use connection pooling - HTTP connections are pooled automatically
3. Batch requests - Use queue prioritization for bulk operations
4. Stream large responses - Avoid loading entire responses into memory
5. Monitor rate limits - Implement adaptive request throttling

// ✅ Good: Reuse client
const client = new DeepSeekWebWithAutoRefresh({ cookies: "..." });
for (const prompt of prompts) {
  await client.sendCompletion({ messages: [{ role: "user", content: prompt }] });
}

// ❌ Avoid: Creating new clients
for (const prompt of prompts) {
  const newClient = new DeepSeekWebWithAutoRefresh({ cookies: "..." });
  // ...
}
